Rivas joined Inter Milan from Argentine side River Plate and has looked a useful addition to the squad coming from the bench to solidify a lead. Rivas is a mobile central defender who makes strong but often mistimed challenges, with decent overall speed, and good stamina. Rivas looked a good bet for a future starting berth until however a harrowing display versus Sampdoria in the Coppa Italia, where he was given a torrid time by Antonio Cassano until he was then reeled off the field by manager Jose Mourinho by half time. Since then Rivas was afforded limited few opportunities to impress and has since been loaned out to Livorno for the 2009/2010 season. At Livorno he has managed 6 outings, managing 1 goal and 3 cards so far. Rivas has shown a willingness to forage forward, running on the ball to then initiate an attacking play with a pass into dangerous areas. Defensively, his tackles can be heavy and wild resulting in fouls and sometimes injuries. Time will tell whether the former River Plate and Inter Milan defender will manage to secure a starting berth with the Amaranto.

I have some suggestions from what i saw in the Sampdoria - Inter match.DEF 79/80 Some bad timings and worse positioningBB 87/88 could go up a bit hes really stronger at this aspectTS & ACC 82/82 don't think he deserves the current value he's quick but not that quickRESP 79/80 This guy is so clumsy and like i said mistimings & bad concentrationAGI 74 I think he's on the same level as viera maybe even lowerSPS 75 Good speed and bad accuracySP 80/82 He's a beast with only 78TW could also go down a bit.

jeje thank youagree except for acc his really quick at least he was i think we should wait on that to see if his injury took away his speed which i dont think so

what i want to know is why is he getting updated without geting to an agreement on the first page u can see my suggesting 88 and jmg721 saying 86 wasnt a low stat and then all of the sudden hes an 85??? whats the point of having this forum then??

What are you talking about...he HAS NOT been updated at all yet We are still discussing...so I don't know what you are getting all fussy about. Once I hear a few more agrees I will likely update him to an 87 or 88(like you suggested). So are you upset that we haven't updated him yet...or were you thinking that we lowered his BB

Either way I think you are confused or impatient

no not at all look at the first page he use to be at 86 BB and now is 85 even u were telling me that 86 (what he had )wastnt a low value and i even agreed with u that i knew he was strong but he hasnt show it yet and also acc and top speed was lowed

Well, not that it matters at this point, because we are close to an update of his BB & TS anyway...but I honestly think I just typed in 86 on accident...instead of 85. Because I can guarentee you that I didn't do an update yet, and I am holding off until we can do the complete update. So don't worry, and keep the faith in this site

I agree to spinaL with his suggestion (TW).It really could go down a bit. Look here on the 3rd goal from Sampdoria.2:22

He doesn't run back to take the ball from Cassano, he walks back to the defence very slow and he wasn't interessed to help his team. I'm not really sure if this should be Mentality or Teamwork. Or maybe both. I don't know. But it must be definitly lowered after this two horrible matches.

You know this may seem a bit eeire but I sometimes find that when I am looking through the database and my OF at the sametime that some values for some player may be off by a point here and there, and thses are players I know I have not altered myself from the stats on the database and there was no discussion of change or update, really weird. Like ghost stats or something.

I think it happened with me also. We just lowered someones SPA from 77 to 75...and he was still a 72 in my game. It's hard to keep track of everything I guess. We aren't perfect and forget to put them in our game, and let people know things get updated. Not sure how it happens really. Or possibly we make a mistake in updating the game. I've done that before.
